Bonjour. SO for those of you who have read this before I discovered about a week ago that I wasn't able to edit this story, kept getting an error page blah blah blah...so I decided to repost this story (only things that changed are the spelling errors.)Enjoy...

Hermione stared at the sad faces around her. She knew this would be the last time she saw them for quite some time, yet she didn't feel the same sadness and worry that these people she cared for did. She felt quite the opposite in fact; she was ecstatic! This was her time to prove that she wasn't just the smart young woman that was friends with the Boy Who Lived. She finally had the chance to prove she wasn't just the brains behind the operation but was also filled with courage like Harry, and the rest of the Order.

"Please guys, I will be fine. It'll be over before you know it." Hermione smiled at everyone, seeing some of the worry leave their faces.

"You don't have to do this Hermione," Lupin said. "We don't even know if this will work out in our favor." Hermione smiled at him," No Lupin, this is the best idea that's been put on the table, everything else risked to many lives, and I'm personally sick of losing mentors and friends."

Lupin nodded, and ushered Hermione forward. "Here are something's you'll need on your trip back." He handed her a diary that look similar to the one Voldemort used to get close to Ginny. "This diary so we can communicate to you while you're in the past, write in it when you need us and for the updates you feel necessary to share. Try not to use it very often; it's very possible that some could intercept the messages which could put us all in danger." Hermione made the note in her head to use it only for emergency situations.

"Also this," Harry said as he held out his father's cloak. "It helped us get through a lot of tough times..." Harry looked at her, his eyes full of the memories of their adventures. Hermione smiled at her best friend. "Thank you Harry, this means so much to me", she said as she hugged him. As she let go she looked over towards Ron who was fighting back tears. "Oh Ron, I'll be back... I promise." She walked towards him and put as much love as she could into her hug. As Ron hugged her back she remembered the conversation they had at the end of the school year.

"Hermione?" Ron asked timidly.

"Yeah?" She replied barely looking up from her potions book.

"Can I ask you something?" Ron put his hand on her book, forcing Hermione to look up at him.

"What's the matter Ron?"

"Nothing...umm...Listen, I really like you, and whatever your answer is I'll respect it completely...but...*he took a deep breath* would you like to go out with me...maybe, sometime?"

Hermione's eyes got wide, "Oh wow, Ron...I uh, I'm flattered, but you're like a brother to me." She smiled gently at him, guilt showing in her eyes.

"Oh yea, naw that's...that's cool." He looked disappointed, but didn't press her anymore about the subject.

Later on he had told her he would still love her, even if he had to play more of a brotherly role in her life. As they ended their hug she knew she had his complete support in her decision, but that didn't mean he wasn't sad to see her go, or that he wouldn't continuously worry about her. As she turned to walk towards, well the past, Ron grabbed her hand and pushed something into it. It was a deep purple and blue twine bracelet with their patronus forms on it, an otter and dog charms. "It's to remind you of your happiest memory when you feel bad, and mine for good luck."

"Thank you so much Ron," she gave him a peck on the cheek and one last look before she gave out hugs to the rest of the Order. Finally when she had finished, she looked at Lupin and said "I'm ready now."

He moved her towards the doorway of the kitchen, away from the rest of the group."Now remember your objective."

"Infiltrate the Death Eaters circle and change history for the better? No problem..." She smiled at him.

"I'll have the diary on me always, so let me know if it becomes too much, or if you are in danger and I'll bring you back ASAP." He paused, hoping he was doing the right thing. "Good luck."

Hermione watched as he mutter some words while making bright lights circle around her, making the world disappear before her eyes. As her world faded into nothing, there was a blinding flash lasting for several seconds. After that there was only darkness.

Hermione realized her eyes were closed. As she opened them and adjusted to the light, she realized she was in The Leaky Cauldron. As she scanned the place she realized it was exactly the same in 1967 as it was in her time. Remembering that she was meeting someone here she began glancing from table to table looking for the familiar face that she missed dearly. As she did this from the corner of her eye she saw a sparkle, one she knew could only come from the spectacles of Albus Dumbledore. Hermione walked over to him smiling, and upon reaching him said, "Professor you have no idea how good it is to see you."

Dumbledore look at her with wise kind eyes and reply, "My dear, although we have never met before, I feel like I have known you for a very long time." He smiled at her, and continued; "Now I believe we have some important details to go over. Lupin filled me in several days ago about the mission, and he and I created an identity for you, along with a background story for you to go by." He handed her a sheet of paper with the details of her new life here.

Blood Status: Pureblood

Alias: Katherine Elizabeth Noxly

Mother: Raquel Briar

Father: Ignotus Noxly

From: Inverness, Scotland

Parents moved there from Britain to care for relatives, your mother had home schooled you, but seeing as her time is now dedicated towards being a caregiver, she had you enrolled into Hogwarts for your last year.

Hermione read this over a few times, "Okay, seems simple enough."

Dumbledore looked at her," Two more things, if they question how you were able to be enrolled at Hogwarts, tell them I am a personal friend of the family, and owed your parents a favor. Lastly here's enough gold for supplies, and whatever you may need throughout the school year," he stated as he handed her a generous pouch filled with gallons.

"Oh my, thank you very much professor." She began to think of the school supplies and realized, "Sir? What house will I be so I can put that on my school robes?"

"Oh I'm sorry my dear. You will be in Slytherin. We had though perhaps Ravenclaw, but we decide it would be better for you to get closer to these, well future Death Eaters by being a part of their community." Hermione thought that might happen and was in no way looking forward to that. "Well I need to be off, ahem, Katherine." He winked at her, and standing up walking towards the door called back, "I look forward to seeing you in a few days."

Hermione sat there for a few moments contemplating how this would all work out. Deciding that she would just takes things one moment at a time and walked out the back toward Diagon Alley to purchase her new school supplies.

Ya chapter 1! Reviews please... I feel dead without them *sob*
